Best practices for reviewing products you've received for free

Posted: 11 Mar 2016 02:07 PM PST

Editor's note: This post was cross posted from the Google Webmaster Central Blog.

As a form of online marketing, some companies today will send bloggers free products to review or give away in return for a mention in a blogpost. Whether you're the company supplying the product or the blogger writing the post, below are a few best practices to ensure that this content is both useful to users and compliant with Google Webmaster Guidelines.

  1. Use the nofollow tag where appropriate

    Links that pass PageRank in exchange for goods or services are against Google guidelines on link schemes. Companies sometimes urge bloggers to link back to:
    1. the company's site
    2. the company's social media accounts
    3. an online merchant's page that sells the product
    4. a review service's page featuring reviews of the product
    5. the company's mobile app on an app store

Bloggers should use the nofollow tag on all such links because these links didn't come about organically (i.e., the links wouldn't exist if the company hadn't offered to provide a free good or service in exchange for a link). Companies, or the marketing firms they're working with, can do their part by reminding bloggers to use nofollow on these links.

  1. Disclose the relationship

    Users want to know when they're viewing sponsored content. Also, there are laws in some countries that make disclosure of sponsorship mandatory. A disclosure can appear anywhere in the post; however, the most useful placement is at the top in case users don't read the entire post.
  2. Create compelling, unique content

    The most successful blogs offer their visitors a compelling reason to come back. If you're a blogger you might try to become the go-to source of information in your topic area, cover a useful niche that few others are looking at, or provide exclusive content that only you can create due to your unique expertise or resources.

An update on Google Friend Connect

Posted: 21 Dec 2015 03:02 AM PST

In 2011, we announced the retirement of Google Friend Connect for all non-Blogger sites. We made an exception for Blogger to give readers an easy way to follow blogs using a variety of accounts. Yet over time, we've seen that most people sign into Friend Connect with a Google Account. So, in an effort to streamline, in the next few weeks we'll be making some changes that will eventually require readers to have a Google Account to sign into Friend Connect and follow blogs.


As part of this plan, starting the week of January 11, we'll remove the ability for people with Twitter, Yahoo, Orkut or other OpenId providers to sign in to Google Friend Connect and follow blogs. At the same time, we'll remove non-Google Account profiles so you may see a decrease in your blog follower count.


We encourage you to tell affected readers (perhaps via a blog post), that if they use a non-Google Account to follow your blog, they need to sign up for a Google Account, and re-follow your blog. With a Google Account, they'll get blogs added to their Reading List, making it easier for them to see the latest posts and activity of the blogs they follow.

We know how important followers are to all bloggers, but we believe this change will improve the experience for both you and your readers.

Highlight the posts that matter the most

Posted: 10 Dec 2015 07:12 PM PST

As bloggers, we all know how important it is to post frequently in order to encourage readers to come back. Of course, the more you post, the more quickly your posts slip down into the archives, making it harder for your readers to discover everything you've posted that they might be interested in.

To help make it easier to showcase the posts you want your readers to see, we've created a new gadget called Featured Post. With Featured Post, you can choose posts you've shared on your blog and highlight them wherever you'd like.


Whether you'd like to re-share that delicious holiday recipe from a few years back, spotlight a can't-miss promotion you're running, or just revive something quirky from the archives, the Featured Post gadget is a simple way to show off the content that matters most.

To try it, just head to your Layout tab, add a gadget, and select 'Featured Post'. You'll be able to place the gadget wherever you'd like on your blog and then choose the post you'd like to show. If you'd like to highlight something new, you can change the post you feature at any time.

Happy blogging!
